I don't think you've noticed it, but sometimes your posts are nearly indecipherable.
 
 I have been using computer since 8 bit systems were the norm, I worked for a company that built 16/32 bit 68K systems, and I'm using modern hardware.
 And btw, I had 64 bit AMD based hardware, when the majority of PC buyers were still dumb enough to be considering Intel crap like 32bit Pentium 4s systems.
 I just don't see the point in continuing to march along pretending that the last ten years have really continued to prove Moore's law when I fact all they've really proven is that manufacturers need continued sales .
 
 Honestly, has Windows improved since Win7 (which is really just a polished NT derivative)? Win8, horrible. Win8.1, only VERY slightly less. Win10, makes me wish I was using Win7.
 And  8 or more core cpus, ridiculous. Software still doesn't make use of more than two to three at best and single user OS' are still really bad at threading processes to do much better.
 
 And software. Office productivity apps, browsers, utilities...what real improvements do you see in these? Because frankly, the improvements seem incredibly minimal to me. In fact, sometime learning to adjust to the changes in their interfaces is a far bigger PITA than is justified by those minor improvements.
 
 So, like I said, you want to pretend that I need to follow your lead, you go right ahead, but don't look back behind you, because I have a mind of my own and its served me well in the choices I've made so far, so I won't be there.


I thought many cores was good for multitasking when using many apps at the same time. So the system doesnt get clogged.
